I'm in two minds about whether these will look any good on a white BNR32.

I'm appealing to your advice.

Possible Pros

* Japanese made

* Eliminates the orange contrast > cleaner look from a distance

Possible Cons

* Tacky looking

* Lens is not ribbed like the headlight lens > misfit, up close and personal

Thoughts?

depends if you want the authentic look Tez

any pics in the white 32 thread with clears to compare?

I run those clears ^ on my R32GTR (modernizes) :)

I do have a set of brand new smoked Dspeeds with the ribs in the lens that I'd let go to you for half price.

They look better with the N1 headlights over the projector type.

You could also go the clear dspeeds with ribs ($400+) RHDjapan

Thanks for feedback Richard. Those smoked Dspeeds with the ribbing sound good! (Sounds like smoked ribs huh?)

I'd always keep the original amber lenses for authenticity (wow 5 syllables).

Still weighing up...

Well from another R32 owning Richard: No. Just no.

i was gonna post that pic of my car to show how the clear dspeeds look, guess you guys beat me to it LOL
Personally the only set I would ever run are the ones above, the match up with the stock head lights perfectly and almost looks oem.

The JJR clear ones come with the black surround. Unlike the Japanese ones from RHD in your first post.

Dspeeds also come with the silver surround but easy to paint black

Here are the smoked JJR and Dspeeds to compare (bad pic but you get the idea)

Note* the JJR set have a more solid tab for the screw at the top than Dspeeds (so be careful when installing not to snap off)

and a close up of the dpseed clears

DSpeeds look the best then I'm thinking.

Many thanks Richard, Anthony and Ravi.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
